    I just managed to run 3DMark 2003 on a machine with this card (64MB dedicated) and saw that the score was close to an X1400! Is this card really so fast with only passive cooling? Its supposed to be like a 7300, not anything more!

    The 7300 is just an lower clocked 7400, just as an X1300 is a lower clocked X1400. Laptop manufacturers have a lot of play with video card clockspeeds, you're probably comparing scores from a slightly lower clocked X1400. And 3DMark03 doesn't stress the video card as much as 05 and 06, you'd probably see bigger differences in scores with the newer 3DMark's.

    Was this with a D620? I can tell you for sure that the NVS 110m is not passively cooled (at least not what I'd consider passive). It's one heatsink unit that makes contact with the CPU, chipset and GPU. The fan cools down the heatsink.
